Robert Zemeckis to direct new time-travel film?

Director Robert Zemeckis may make his return to live-action cinema with a new time-travel movie.

Zemeckis, who is best known for directing all three installments in the popular Back to the Future trilogy, is said to be in serious talks with Warner Bros to helm an adaptation of Ken Grimwood's 1988 novel Replay.

The book follows a middle-aged man who dies of a heart attack in 1988 but wakes up to find himself back in 1963 as an 18-year-old, and is able to live out his life again and again to see where different choices will lead him.

Lucky Number Slevin writer Jason Smilovic has penned a draft screenplay for the project.
